    About this ebook

    Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didnt do than by the things you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Dream. Discover.Mark Twain

    Hugh Hosch took that advice as a young man, and many years later, hes glad he did.

    In 1959, he paid $1.80 to travel 1,100 miles by train across the southwestern part of Brazilmeeting unforgettable characters along the way.

    In Rio de Janeiro, at the great jewelry firm of Sterns, he bought his mother a pair of amethyst and gold earrings for $7. When he returned many years later bearing his original sales receipt, he found the same earrings cost $3,500.

    In London, he could find a nice room for $2.80 per night, which included an English breakfast of eggs, sausages, rolls or toast, and coffee or juice.

    From South America, to Britain, to the Soviet Union during the Cold War, and elsewhere throughout the world, Hosch relives his many adventures in A Dirt Cheap (and Different) World.

    Hugh Hosch

    Hugh Hosch has had a love affair with Spain since his first visit in 1958. He worked there as a young man and has continually visited and traveled there ever since, on his own and as part of his work in the group travel business. He is the U.S. Delegate for the Club Taurino of London and regularly attends taurine ferias in Spain. This is his sixth book. He has written hundreds of magazine and newspaper articles on Spain and other subjects, as well. Drawings purportedly done by main character L. Sid Camp were actually done by the author.
